  Documents		Marriage- Kerwin, Robert and Kate Mr. Robert Kerwin and Miss Kate Murray, Cross Creek, were married at Holy Cross on May 23 by Reverend Father Dunning. At 8 that evening, friends of the party assembled to the amount of 40 couples and enjoyed themselves in keeping time to the well-rendered musical notes of the celebrated Jackson Brothers String Band. To say they all enjoyed a good time is putting it mild. A long list of the wedding gifts, and those who sent the gifts, is also given in the accounts.

  Obituary- Kerwin, Robert The many friends of Robert Kerwin will be grief stricken to learn that so staunch and true friend has departed this life into that which knows no sorrow or pain, Oct. 25, 1914. His death was the termination of several months of patient suffering caused from laryngitis, although the best of medical skill in Topeka and St. Margaret's hospital of Kansas City was of no avail to him. He was well prepared to meet his God. Mr. Kerwin was born in County Killkenny, Ireland, Dec. 22, 1859. While a youth came to America and resided in Colorado a few years, then moved to Kansas and was married to Miss Katie Murry of Cross Creek, Jackson county, and resided there until his death. Besides his wife, Mrs. Katie Kerwin, he leaves three sons, Walter Leo, Robert Emmett and Cletus Wilford and one daughter, Margaret Close; also two brothers, John Kerwin, County Killkenny, Ireland, and Mike Kerwin, Burlington, Wash., and one sister, Mrs. Morris Calloghlin of County Killkenny, Ireland, all of whom mourn the loss of their beloved husband, father and brother.
